Anne Mary Schaeffer was at Manchester Beach when she spotted a half-dozen Bottlenose Dolphins.

Bottlenose Dolphins, also called Bottle-nosed Dolphins or Gray Dolphins, are extremely intelligent. They seem to be fascinated with humans. They can grow to thirteen feet in length.

Here are a couple of photos of these dolphins, taken by Allen Vinson off of Walk-on Beach on The Sea Ranch.

Allen Vinson spotted what he thought were porpoises. Luckily Allen had his camera with him. They turned out to be Bottle-nosed Dolphins and they sure seemed to be enjoying themselves. A group could be seen surfing a wave together, again and again.
